We stayed at the Meininger City Hostel in Cologne, at that was a very wise decision in terms getting around on foot. The Meininger City Hostel is only a stone’s throw fromt the Rudolfplatz. And the Rudolfplatz is pretty much the heart of the city in terms of nightlife, shopping and attractions. It’s been simply so much fun hanging out there and watching the people and chatting to the verz friendly German’s in that area. So many cool bars, like this one bar was a combination of pipe smoking lounge, cocktail bar and pool table bar.
